Anti-ISIS cartoons in Iran
TEHRAN
Over 1,000 cartoons lampooning Islamic State (IS) have been received by authorities organising a competition in Iran.
270 selected works of art are on display in four cultural centres across the capital Tehran, and a winner will be announced at the end of May.
The contest is being organised by House of Cartoon. Executive secretary Mohammed Habibi told the state run Press TV, “Nowadays everyone around the world knows about the parasite by the name of IS and what crimes they have committed against humanity and art and culture. Artists now have the duty to raise public awareness about this group by participating in such events.
There are plans for the cartoons to go on the road, with exhibitions slated for Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, according to graphic artist Massoud Shoajaei Tabatab
